#MagazineCarrier

CrossBreed Holsters is excited to introduce its new CCW and everyday carry-focused Confidant Magazine Carrier. This new magazine carrier features a self-adjusting multi-fit design that maintains a balance of compatibility with compact and micro-compact handguns, as well as larger handguns like the Glock 17 and SIG Sauer P320 double-stack pistols.

Comp-Tac has just announced their latest product offering to shooters with their three-magazine pouch holder. The new Comp-Tac Tri-Mag is a trio of double-stack magazine holders that is more efficient with space on your gun belt and adds a bit of customization depending on your preferences. This first double-stack version of the Tri-Mag is available now with Comp-Tac also teasing that there will be a single-stack version of the Tri-Mag coming soon!

Raven Concealment Systems has been cranking out holsters, magazine carriers, and related products for over a decade. Some of their noted prior offerings include items like Eidolon holsters and the Vanguard series, or their Copia mag pouches. Now they’ve released a new mag carrier, originally designed for low-profile usage to conceal AR/M4 mags under plain clothes. The main use case for the style of Raven’s new Lictor AR Magazine Pouch would be in the context of a personal security detail or armed bodyguard situation, which is where the Latin-origin name “Lictor” comes from. Check out the press release below for product details.

Since 1969, Phoenix’s Galco Gunleather (originally from Chicago and called “The Famous Jackass Leather Company”) has produced a vast spectrum of shooting accoutrements. From holsters to concealed carry purses and fanny packs to med kits, their products offer something for nearly everyone who carries. If you do carry a firearm, its typically a good idea to pack some extra ammo.

Over the last couple of months, people have asked me what’s the best way to carry rifle magazines at the range. The two main ways typically to carry magazines on a belt is either with a magazine pouch or molded Kydex carrier. Both ways can be extremely useful depending on the application. For this article, I’ll be looking at the High Speed Gear Industries Taco mag carrier system, but other general magazine soft pouches can be included in this.

ITW Nexus brought the companies latest version of their FastMag at Pre-Range Day, in addition to a pack strap quick release. Both products are distributed by Hudson 4 Supplies. ITW Nexus products are used in numerous tactical and even non-tactical products such as packs, plate carriers, and all sorts of other gear. The magazine carriers on display are dimensioned to accept both 5.56x45mm NATO STANAGs and interestingly 6.8x43mm SPC magazines. In addition, they also had 7.62x51mm NATO magazine carriers as well.

High Speed Gear recently announced the company was now selling a new generation of magazine carriers based on the concepts around its original TACOs. The new Polymer TACOs use many of the same design features as the TACOs, but they now include polymer materials that are said to offer lighter weight and be more resilient when wet.

Anyone carrying for over a decade has likely gone through quite a few magazine pouches.  If one has carried a multitool daily, one has probably experienced the carrier wearing out or falling apart over time.  I have had all kinds of pouches over the years: nylon, leather, polymer, kydex, closed-top, open.  I’ve even been mandated to have “basket weave” magazine pouches on my old Sam Browne for work.  Most of the magazine pouches I’ve had over the years were model specific, or at least differentiated between working with single or double-stack mags. I’ve even had some double stack magazines, like those for the FNP-45 or USP-45 for example, not fit in pouches that supposedly take all double stack magazines.

Operation Solutions International is a company in the United States that is bringing in an interesting take on magazine carriers with a single point of entry and insert. The working concept has been around for a year or more, but with  OSI’s involvement in bringing the product to the United States has just now begun. Currently the company could only show the Gen One version in time for SHOT, as the Gen Two couldn’t make it in time for the show.

Black Rhino Concealment is a Kydex company that has been very successful in recent years. They have expanded from a small shop operation to a full time professional company, nowadays making mostly different styles of IWB, OWB, and hybrid holsters, more currently magazine carriers. At Bullpup Shoot they had on hand four new products they will be introducing to their current lineup.
